One fish, two fish...

Got some cute pictures of the girls in the bathtub last night. They were both like two little fish. They were having so much fun that I could not get upset about all the water on the floor. There are just some things that I have to let go and sit back and be thankful for and last night was one of those times. The laughter coming from that bathroom was a reminder of the good times to come with my two little fish!!

The things children say

OK, so I guess Sallie is now at that age where kids say anything that comes to mind without thinking twice about what she says. Last week we were in Publix grocery shopping minding our own business in our car grocery cart. This lady ahead of us was minding her business shopping and Sallie says in a loud voice "hey Mommy, theres a witch". This caught me so off guard that I did not know what to say. I wanted to laugh, cry, shrink inside my buggy all at once. The lady turned around and looked and kept on strolling. What do you say to that? This lady had black long black hair with streaks of silver running through it. I guess this is what Sallie has envisioned a witch to look like. Then we were at Publix again today and Sallie said "hey Mommy, look there is a pirate." It was a lady with a patch over her right eye. The lady looked at her and smiled thank the Lord. I did not know what to do other than laugh to myself. Sallie kept saying Mommy, why is that pirate here and I was just trying to get the heck out of there. It was so crowded and many people heard her. I am really not sure how to handle those questions other than just telling her to say things like that quietly. Anyway, I know that they all sound funny and if it was another persons child I would think it was hilarious however it is really embarrassing in a crowded grocery store. I thought I had a couple more years for these kind of observations. Obviously I was wrong and maybe we just need to stop going to publix.

Just Funny

I am not sure why this picture is so funny to me but Anna dressing up cracked me up. Sallie loves to dress up and has lots of dress up clothes now..thanks Whitney she loves them...but Anna wanted to dress up and so I dressed her up and she loved it. She chased Sallie around the house with her wand and thought that it was the best thing ever. I laughed until I cried and she thought that was even funnier. Out little princess #2.

Christmas 2009

We had a wonderful Christmas with lots of good family time over the holidays. Monday starts the work week and the end of vacation and although I am looking forward to getting back to the kids schedule and structure I am dreading working. We have really enjoyed sleeping later and visiting family and friends. Everyone was supper excited Christmas morning and there was no mention of the princess piano that Sallie wanted so bad from Santa. She does tell people that she got one from Santa when asked however she never ask where it was Christmas morning and has never asked me anything about it. She loved her princess bike and rides it like she has had one her whole life. She even knows how to brake which I think is incredible. She also loves her princess couch that she got and loves to sit on it and watch her show and has also taken a couple of naps on it as it folds out to a bed. Anna really liked her mega blocks and loves to get in her princess tent with Sallie. She was not a fan of the Rody that we got her so Santa came and picked that back up and took it back to the north pole. She was scared to death of that thing and wanted nothing to do with it. Ward and I gave each other gas fire logs which we will get next week and are so excited about. The best gift of all of course was our time with family that we look so forward to and after all the hustle and bustle of Christmas it is so nice to sit back and enjoy time with the ones that we love. I am so thankful this year for all my family and friends. I am so lucky and blessed beyond words and hope that 2010 is as good as 2009 was!! Happy New Year Everyone!!!
